Jasidih Junction railway station

Jasidih Junction (station code: JSME) is the fifth busiest railway station in terms of train frequencies and population after Dhanbad, Tatanagar ,Bokaro Steel City and Ranchi and serving as the satellite station of Deoghar city in the Deoghar district in the Indian state of Jharkhand. Many premium trains halt here like Howrah Rajdhani (via Patna), Howrah - New Delhi Duronto , Poorva Express, Kolkata - Patna Garib Rath , Shalimar Patna Duronto Express and recently launched Patna-Howrah Vande Bharat Express. It has also been included under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme and is waiting to be upgraded with world-class services.

Administration
Jasidih Junction is under the Asansol division of Eastern Railway zone of the Indian Railways.

Further extension
The railways have proposed a Jasidih–bypass line after construction of which trains from Bhagalpur Junction and Dumka can run up to Asansol Junction and Dhanbad Junction without loco reversal at Jasidih, also saving considerable time for the passengers. Deoghar Junction is being developed as a major halt station to decongest Jasidih and avoid a delay of more than 30 minutes for an engine change at Jasidih.

The 97 km-long Jasidih–Hansdiha–Pirpainti line is under construction. As of April 2021, work is under progress on Mohanpur–Hansdiha and Godda–Pirpainti sections. The 32 km Hansdiha–Godda section was inaugurated on 8 April 2021 and a Humsafar Express runs weekly from Godda to New Delhi. This line is considered important to connect the Godda district in the Santhal Pargana division of Jharkhand with the rest of India. The 80 km Godda–Pakur line is also planned
